Recovery Ecosystem
A recovery ecosystem, as defined by Mercy , Ngosa, Mumba, et. al, is an evidece-based approach that creates the environment that individuals and families need by providing all the necessary tools, services, an supports for recovery to occur." To that end, CMREN-FSU aims to build a sustainable, regional recovery ecosystem through collaborative efforts, that will serve the needs of all impacted by substance misuse and Substance Use Disorder. Our work will focus primarily on four populaltions, veterans, pregnant, homeless/unhoused, and justice involved specifically those recently released from incarceraton.
